YouTube-style keyboard shortcuts for streaming services
A free browser extension for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge
Ever pressed Space to pause and accidentally skipped to the next episode? Or restarted the entire movie? Or hit a button you didn't mean to press?
Stream Keys fixes these infuriating moments – your keyboard shortcuts finally work the way they should.
Press R to instantly jump back to where you were. Perfect for when you overshoot a skip, your finger slips on the trackpad, or you want to rewatch that line you didn't quite catch – then return exactly where you were.
Seek anywhere in the video – previous position saves automatically. Changed your mind? Press R to open position restore dialog, and instantly jump back.
It's like undo for video navigation.
No more surprise skips, no more dead keys after fullscreen, no more hunting for the subtitle menu. Every shortcut does exactly what you expect, every single time.
Toggle playback anywhere, regardless of focus
Enter or exit fullscreen mode
Toggle captions based on your preferences
Jump back to previous positions
Bookmark your current position
Rewind or fast-forward
All shortcuts work reliably in fullscreen mode, including after you exit fullscreen. No more clicking to regain focus.
Those play/pause and skip buttons on your keyboard? They actually work on streaming sites now. Rewind or skip forward just like the on-screen buttons – without switching tabs.
Hate waiting through 10-second skips during boring scenes? Set your own skip time – 30 seconds, 60 seconds, whatever works for you. Skip intros and recaps in one press.
No more hunting through menus to turn captions on or off. Press C to get your preferred language instantly – or turn them off just as fast. Set your language preferences in the extension settings.
Zero tracking, zero data collection. Your viewing habits are yours alone. No analytics, no data mining. Open source code you can inspect yourself. Just keyboard shortcuts.
You won't even notice it's there – no slowdowns, no popups, no interference. Only activates on streaming sites, sleeps everywhere else.
Stream Keys works with major streaming platforms. Each service can be individually enabled or disabled in the extension settings.
Install in one click and say goodbye to broken keyboard controls. Free forever, works on all major browsers.
